Whether you're planning a family gathering, a tubing adventure, a bridal/bachelor party retreat, or a peaceful staycation, this home is ideal for creating memorable experiences and unwinding from the bustle of daily life.

While we welcome pets (including horses), pre-approval from the host is necessary. Please refer to the "Other things to note" section in our listing for details on pet requirements and associated fees.

Country Wildlife Disclaimer:
In central Texas countryside, guests may encounter snakes and scorpions due to the diverse wildlife. Snakes like rattlesnakes and copperheads are found in wooded areas and near water sources, while scorpions, especially the striped bark scorpion, seek shelter in cool, dark places like under rocks or inside buildings. Guests might encounter these creatures while hiking, gardening, or staying in rustic accommodations. To stay safe, wear sturdy footwear and long pants, use a flashlight at night, and shake out clothing and shoes before wearing them.

Although we take protected measures by spraying for critters from coming indoors, consider using house slippers or house shoes while in the house to protect against unexpected encounters from scorpions or spiders.

Cool Barn House

Property is a cool spacious barn house. Host was communicative. I didn’t realize we needed a code to get in but after I messaged the host, they got back within 5-10 minutes to tell us the code to enter. The home was cute and clean. Would stay again.
Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024
